Step 1: Inquire / Attend an Admissions Tour

To learn more about Mayfield Junior School and begin the admissions process, please complete an online inquiry.

A typical tour is approximately two hours and includes an introduction by Head of School Joe Sciuto, a campus tour with classroom visits, and connections with faculty, students and current parents. Middle School applicants and their parents are also invited to attend an Information Night to learn more about the program.
